James Karpu Momo of the opposition, Alternative National Congress (ANC) has resigned from the Party. Prior to his resignation, Mr. Momo served the ANC as a National Vice Chairman for Operation, National Mobilization and Recruitment. In his formal letter of resignation addressed to ANC National Chairman, Lafayette E.C. Gould, Momo said, he resigned as a member of the Party, effective December 1, 2025.
He said, his decision was not made lightly, but has great valued on his time as a member of the National Executive Committee.
He meanwhile, sincerely appreciated the opportunities afforded him to contribute to the Party’s objectives.
Momo currently serves as Assistant Transport Minister.
The ANC was established on August 17, 2013, after completing the registration with the National Electoral Commission.
Since then, the Party won a single seat in the 2014 Senate elections with Daniel Naatehn (deceased) of Gbarpolu County.
In the 2017 general elections, the Party nominated Alexander B. Cummings, Jr. as its presidential candidate, but
finished fifth with 7 percent of the votes.
In a related development, the ANC has accused the ruling Unity Party (UP)–led government of a disturbing shift in national priorities.
The Party meanwhile, accused the administration of Joseph Nyuma Boakai of investing more energy in expanding its political headquarters than in addressing the worsening economic and social conditions facing ordinary Liberians.
“While Liberians continue to grapple with soaring prices, widespread unemployment, a collapsing health sector, poor infrastructure, and a stagnant economy, the UP has instead focused on acquiring and upgrading properties across the country.”
This action, the ANC said, underscores a government increasingly disconnected from the realities of its people. It argues that rather than rolling out policies to reduce poverty, strengthen market women’s businesses, create job opportunities for youth, or stabilize prices of essential commodities, the UP most visible accomplishment has been the expansion of its political footprint.
Such conduct, the ANC says, represents “self-serving politics masquerading as governance.”
